Set up transition like a drill

T1 and T2 are skills. Practice them in the driveway: helmet before the bike moves, shoes where your hands expect them, number belt already facing the right way. A minute saved in a messy transition is usually a minute you also spent standing still.

On race morning, walk the rack to the exit once before the start. Know which side your bike is on. The clock does not care that the row looked different in the photo.
